regulatory regime. Additionally, in some embodiments, the RIAM | |
can scan hybrid game session packets for cheating whether it be: | |
player performance exceeding their rated capabilities (handicap), | |
extraordinary ESE game performance as could be enabled by | |
“cheats”, suspected illegal teaming up of players in community | |

UI | |
b | the ESE signals the GWE of the player decision or action taken |
c | the GWE signals the ESE as to the amount of EE that will be |

function 990 to control the EE consumption, decay or addition | |
d | the ESE consumes the amount of EE designated by the GWE to |
couple to the player action | |
e | the GWE signals the RWE as to the profile of the wager proposition |

f | the RWE consumes RC for the wager and executes the wager |
g | the RWE returns RC depending on the outcome of the wager |
h | the RWE informs the GWE as to the outcome of the wager |
i | The GWE signals the ESE to add additional (or subtract, or add 0) |
EE to one or more of the EEs of the ESE entertainment game. | |
This is reflected as function 990 in the figure. | |
j | The ESE reconciles the EE(s) of the entertainment game. |
k | The ESE signals the GWE as to its updated status, and the GWE |
signals the ESE to add additional (or subtract, or add 0) GWC to one | |
or more of the GWC of the ESE entertainment game. This is | |
reflected in function 991 in the figure. | |
L | The ESE reconciles the GWC(s) of the entertainment game. |
TABLE 3 |
Example Hybrid Game Credit Flow and Management |
a | the player selects a machine gun to use in the game. The player fires |
a burst at an opponent. | |
{the player performs an action or makes a decision through the game | |
UI} | |
b | the ESE signals the GWE of the player's choice of weapon, that a |
burst of fire was fired, and the outcome of whether the player hit the | |
opponent with the burst of fire. | |
{the ESE signals the GWE of the player decision or action taken} | |
c | the GWE processes the information in b above, and signals the ESE |
to consume 3 bullets (EE) with each pull of the trigger. | |
{the GWE signals the ESE as to the amount of EE that will be | |
consumed by the player action or decision. This signaling configures | |
function 990 to control the EE consumption, decay or addition} | |
d | the ESE entertainment game consumes 3 bullets (EE) since the trigger |
was pulled. | |
{the ESE consumes the amount of EE designated by the GWE to | |
couple to the player action} | |
e | the GWE signals the RWE that 3 credits (RC) are to be wagered to |
match the 3 bullets (EE) consumed, on a particular pay table (table | |
Ln-RC) as a function how much damage the player inflicted on | |
his/her opponent. | |
{the GWE signals the RWE as to the profile of the wager proposition | |
associated with the particular action, and triggers the wager} | |
f | the RWE consumes the 3 credits for the wager and executes the |
specified wager | |
{the RWE consumes RC for the wager and executes the wager} | |
g | the RWE determines that the player hits a jackpot of 6 credits, and |
returns these 6 credits (RC) to the credit meter. | |
{the RWE returns RC depending on the outcome of the wager} | |
h | the RWE informs the GWE that 3 credits (RC) net, were won |
{the RWE informs the GWE as to the outcome of the wager} | |
i | the GWE signals the ESE to add 3 bullets (EE) to the player's ammo |
clip {The GWE signals the ESE to add additional (or subtract, or | |
add 0) EE to one or more of the EEs of the ESE entertainment game. | |
This is reflected as function 990 in the figure} | |
j | the ESE adds back 3 bullets (EE) to the player's ammo clip in the |
entertainment game. This may take place by directly adding them to | |
the clip, or may happen in the context of the entertainment game, | |
such as the player finding extra ammo on the ground or in an old | |
abandoned ammo dump. | |
{The ESE reconciles the EE(s) of the entertainment game} | |
k | The GWE logs the new player score (GWC) in the game (as a |
function of the successful hit on the opponent) based on ESE | |
signaling, and signals the ESE to add 2 extra points to their score | |
since a jackpot was won. {The ESE signals the GWE as to its | |
updated status, and the GWE signals the ESE to add additional | |
(or subtract, or add 0) GWC to one or more of the GWC of the ESE | |
entertainment game. This is reflected in function 991 in the figure} | |
L | the ESE adds 10 points to the player's score (GWC) given the success |
of the hit which in this example is worth 8 points, plus the 2 extra | |
points requested by GWE. | |
{The ESE reconciles the GWC(s) of the entertainment game.} | |
